How to easily take a screenshot of the expanded menu?

[Paul Menzel]

Dear Xfce folks,


How can I make a screenshot of the Xfce menu by grabbing the area by itself?

The command below does not work.

```
$ delay 2; import /dev/shm/arbitrary_name.png
import: unable to grab mouse `': Resource temporarily unavailable @ 
error/xwindow.c/XSelectWindow/9182.```

Using `xfce4-screenshooter` also did not work, as despite the delay, the 
mouse pointer is already in the “grab mode”, and I am unable to expand 
the menu.

I worked around it, by making a screenshot of the entire desktop, then 
cut it myself with GIMP.


Kind regards,

Paul
